Get Better Financial Education In Your School

Teen looking at the camera in a library

More than half of all Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. Sorry old guys in charge, but this sucks. 84% of young people think that there should be more financial skills taught in school.

If you're with us, check out out the Financial Education Scholarship [1] from DoSomething.org (go us!) and Discover (our buds!).

How It Works

Sign and share a national petition urging high school administrators to put financial education in school curriculum. 

What You Could Get

Better education, duh. Plus, every month we'll award a $3,000 scholarship to a student that has gotten 5 others to sign the petition. (It's important to get others to know about the issue).

What Now?

Sign up [2] to help young people be way better prepared for adult financing. Now as adult drama, you might be on your own ;)
